I just Installed UE 5.7.2 and every time it gets stuck on “35% submitting global shader DDC Requests“ . Even in new Projects. While it is stuck at 35%, the RAM usage goes from 900MB to about 1200MB very very slowly. 0.5-1MB per second. And after that, it opens up normally. I verified it from the Epic GamesLauncher, it just downloaded ~2MB and said everything is fine. Gemini told me to “Navigate to `%LOCALAPPDATA%\UnrealEngine\Common\` and delete the **DerivedDataCache** and **Zen** folders“. This makes it not get stuck on 35% but them it recompiles all 14,000+ Shaders at 45% I previously only worked with UE 5.4 And I never had this problem.

I tried it multiple times… ![image](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/f/3/9/f39dccdb05e74f3c7e017c5c0480c25b7db26401.jpeg)
